Sean Ahern
An Evanston native, I’ve been swinging a hammer for over 30 years.
I take great pride in my craft, and I love what I do.
I’m a registered General Contractor, fully insured, and work solo or can lead a team.
Repairs as small as a squeaky floorboard to restorations as large as an entire house renovation are within my capability. Collaborating on ideas for how to engineer things with wood is what I love to do the most.
I like to ideally see a job site first-hand, or at least receive photos and talk with potential clients about the scope of what they’re looking to do.
Then I’ll put together an estimate that outlines expected labor and materials, and breaks out what a payment schedule would look like.
Once a client agrees with a bid, they’ll receive a contract for signature to confirm the project on my schedule, and an initial invoice.
Because life and older homes can be surprising, I’ll discuss any scope changes that come up during the job that may extend the schedule or the budget with the Client so they understand the situation.
My goal is for you to be happy with the process and the result, to have a great experience and get a great value.
My process:
I don’t give quotes over the phone.
